Question
Hey Crystal! I am a HUGE Brenda and Dylan fan. I was wondering if you could tell me why did they break up in London? Did Dylan ever give a specific reason why they broke up? Your help is appreciated. Thank you.

Answer
Hello Kaelyn,

It was never revealed why Brenda & Dylan broke up in London and Dylan never stated anything specific either.

Only thing Dylan said was a contradiction from established storylines: When he returned in November 1998, he told Kelly that he had left Brenda 2 years earlier. However, roughly 2 years earlier is when the gang learned he was living with Brenda (May 1996), then in 1997 Brandon & Kelly helped his sister Erica and sent her to live with him & Brenda where he took over custody from his mother. Nothing was said about Erica's whereabouts when Dylan returned either even though she should have still been under 18 and requiring a guardian. Also, when Brandon & Kelly almost married in May 1998, during their honeymoon, they had plans to meet up with Brenda & Dylan in Corsica.

Take care,
Crystal

Expertise

I have seen all 10 seasons of 90210 and have every episode on tape to locate answers. My expertise is on the first 6 seasons and the characters Brenda and Dylan, but I will attempt to answer any question pertaining to the show. Please no scene/dialogue questions because they are very time-consuming and frustrating. However, I will be happy to clarify misunderstood dialogue due to whispering and such if I'm able to. I will attempt to answer any song question for the original airdates and syndication. NO DVD SONG QUESTIONS PLEASE. Please see my "Life Experience" in my profile for song question updates, it may pertain to your question.

Experience

I have every single episode on tape to find the answers. I watched and taped the show religiously. (All requests for copies of my videotapes/episodes will be declined.)
Update: The song used in "Crunch Time" during David's meth addiction is "Living In A Fantasy" by The Rainbow Band. Many thanks to the fellow 90210 Fan that contacted me with the info when they tracked it down. Also, the song used in "One Wedding and a Funeral" that Dylan & Toni dance to is "Nobody Knows Me" by Lyle Lovett. Same song is used during the scene where Dylan is crying while holding the wedding dress and then kitten. David & Donna's wedding song is "Spend My Life With You" by Eric Benet & Tamia. Same song was Steve & Janet's wedding song.

Education/Credentials
